Journal ArticleDOI
Reliability of the Measured Velocity Anisotropy of the Milky Way Stellar Halo
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the estimates of β based on local fitting methods are reliable only at $r\leqslant 15\,\mathrm{kpc}$ with the current sample size (∼10(3) stars at a given radius).
Journal ArticleDOI
SMASHing THE LMC: Mapping A Ring-like Stellar Overdensity in the LMC Disk
Yumi Choi,Yumi Choi,David L. Nidever,Knut Olsen,Gurtina Besla,Robert Blum,Dennis Zaritsky,Maria-Rosa L. Cioni,Roeland P. van der Marel,Roeland P. van der Marel,Eric F. Bell,L. Clifton Johnson,A.

Muñoz +22 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the stellar structure of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) disk using data from the Survey of the MAgellanic Stellar History (SMASH) and the Dark Energy Survey.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tracing the anemic stellar halo of M 101
In Sung Jang,Roelof S. de Jong,Benne W. Holwerda,Antonela Monachesi,Eric F. Bell,Jeremy Bailin +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the stellar content and structure of the nearby disk galaxy M 101 was quantified by resolving its stars using deep F 606W and F 814W images taken with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) as part of the GHOSTS survey.
Journal ArticleDOI
Revealing strong bias in common measures of galaxy properties using new inclination-independent structures
Brian M. Devour,Eric F. Bell +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed novel inclination independent galaxy structures by collapsing the light distribution in the near-infrared on to the major axis, yielding inclination-independent measures of size and concentration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long tidal tails in merging galaxies and their implications
Jian Ren,Jian Ren,X. Z. Zheng,X. Z. Zheng,David Valls-Gabaud,Pierre-Alain Duc,Eric F. Bell,Zhizheng Pan,Zhizheng Pan,Jianbo Qin,Jianbo Qin,D D Shi,D D Shi,Man Qiao,Man Qiao,Yongqiang He,Yongqiang He,Run Wen,Run Wen +18 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the properties of long tidal tails using the largest to date sample of 461 merging galaxies with log(M * /M) ≥ 9.5 within 0.2 ≤ z ≤ 1.
